Best Restaurants for Groups in Petoskey

Nice cocktail at the bar then seated at beautiful table for excellent dinner. To make it extra great, the service (shoutout to Courtney) was outstanding.

Weathervane and all of the Stafford’s restaurants are some of the best in Northern Michigan. Weathervane is always part of our Christmas season, with family, friends and guests in town. We also return often throughout the summer season when everyone comes to town.

Always an exceptional experience, culinary and service. Highly recommend the winter salad and fillet, Classic style!

Bennethum’s food was nothing short of amazing, with each dish showcasing bold, flavorful ingredients and thoughtful preparation. What truly stood out, though, was the service. Paige was attentive, friendly, and made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, creating a perfect environment for both casual dining or a special night out. I highly recommend Bennethum’s for anyone looking for a great meal, fantastic drinks, and outstanding service.

We went specifically for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was excellent. There was a wide variety of food from breakfast through a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. There was an excellent carving station with roasted turkey and baked Dearborn ham. The sides included excellent stuffing and real mashed potatoes. The salad bar was outstanding in its variety and all of the selections were very good. As usual, the desserts were sumptuous, especially the Apple Streusel although it would have been nice to have some vanilla sauce to top it off. Overall the food was about as hot (warm) as you would expect from a buffet. The service was a little slow initially but after the introduction, it was excellent. We are both very Thankful to the staff who worked during their Thanksgiving day to provide such friendly service.
